Which radars cover Gosport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 32 miles northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Gosport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 32 mi northeast | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 94 mi southwest | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 103 mi south-southeast | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
